April 11-17, 2002 dance Sounds Like Progress
DanceIt's no secret that one of contemporary dance's defining intentions has been to question not just how to dance, but what to dance to. Group Motion's "Spiel Uhr" series engages fully with those possibilities this week, as it presents new choreography by its core members and guest artists: Featured prominently in the show will be a Soundbeam, a sound-wave device that reacts to movement by adapting its frequency. According to Manfred Fischbeck, Group Motion artistic director, this allows "an interaction between live video, dance and sound," as dancers, rather than keeping time with music, create a soundscape with their movements. This new group performance, developed from a concept that Group Motion brought to the Kimmel in February, includes video projection by Sir Eel productions and music care of interactive ensemble Improv 2, with additional instrumentation by Andrea Clearfield, Fischbeck and Ron Kravitz. The all-inclusive nature of "Spiel Uhr" -- translated from German as "play clock" -- is seen by Fischbeck as a "chance for artists Œaround the clock' to come out and perform." In line with this philosophy, guest performers Lynn Falk, originally from Baltimore, and Manfred's daughter Aura Fischbeck, based in Colorado, bring debut solo works -- a homage to Louis Armstrong's "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" and "Out of Skin" respectively -- to the Philadelphia stage. With a duet between company members David Konyk and Emily Hubler, and newly choreographed solos by Katie McNamara and Bald Mermaids' Rebecca Sloan, this show should definitely be worth sounding out. “Spiel Uhr,” Sat.-Sun., April 13-14, 8 p.m., $10-$12, Kumquat Dance Center, at the Community Education Center, 3500 Lancaster Ave., 215-387-9895.
